Short Description
Leith School of Art’s Graduate Residency programme offers a unique opportunity to develop a substantial body of new work within an established Art School leading towards professional practice or further postgraduate study.
Successful applicants will benefit from dedicated studio space, available at all times during School opening hours, allowing for flexibility of working practice and the scope to develop a new body of work. Graduates will be encouraged to develop an ambitious proposal challenging previous work or current practice and will be allocated a personal tutor to oversee their development throughout the year. Graduates will receive critical feedback on their work and learn how to situate their practice in the wider context of the contemporary art world.
Eligibility
The programme is open to applications from current final year students or recent graduates (within two years) from BA or MA courses in Art and Design.
In exceptional circumstances we will consider applicants who do not meet this criteria; please contact the School to discuss further.
